[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1209256, member: 31414"] Bubblehead....Chuchu..... thank you for the entertainment here on BC.....and believe me...I do not say that in a disparaging way. If you two really only knew all the facts behind local 348 and their healthcare plan.....you would not be so eager to encourage other locals into individual plans. I'm sure that both of you know that the local 348 MOU has been in the Ohio Rider for the past eleven (11) years (starting with the August 1, 2002 contract). Do either of you know what "special treatment" 348 is getting with their current healthcare plan? My only suggestion here would be..... "not to envy something that may actually be less than what you have now". FYI...there are other locals in Ohio not listed in the Ohio Rider that have separate healthcare agreements. I happen to be in one of them..... Separate healthcare agreements are NOT without significant risk. I was initially all for separate healthcare agreements until I started to realize the potential risks involved. In addition, I could not justify my strong belief in Unionism while at the same time dividing the Union by promoting a division on healthcare. It's simply too hypocritical to do so. I respect both of you for your beliefs and understand your thinking. Bubblehead....as much as you and I may not like it at times..... the IBT is looking out for more than UPSers in their thinking and negotiating.... but ....that is what a Union is all about... TeamCare is simply a good alternative to the UPS plan that many of us were in. Diluting the pool of UPSers in the TeamCare plan is not a good idea. (the exception I would make is in locations that do not have access to Quest Diagnostics, etc.. that provides 100% coverage for XRays, etc.) While we're on "Contract Trivia".........What I would like to know is why did Local 100 dominate the Ohio Rider back in the 1997-2002 contract?
